Ah - now I see what you mean.

For anybody else following this thread - I found this instructional.
See if you can guess the output of the last command before you run it.

  echo 'line one' > one.txt
  ln one.txt two.txt
  ln one.txt three.txt
  echo 'line two' > two.txt
  echo 'line three' >> three.txt
  cat one.txt two.txt three.txt
